- Abstract
Abstract: Design and synthesis of new insensitive high‐performance energetic materials are significant because of the demands of both civilian and military applications. Now a straightforward route which does not necessitate the use of 1,1‐diamino‐2,2‐dinitroethene (FOX‐7) as a starting material has been developed to synthesize 3,5‐bis(dinitromethyl)‐1,2,4‐triazole (BDT) and its mono and dianion salts. The X‐ray structure of bis‐ triaminoguanidinium 3,5‐bis(dinitromethyl)‐1,2,4‐triazolate (<bold>10</bold>) further confirms the structure of this dianion. The gem dinitro carbon results in higher packing coefficients and extensive hydrogen bonding interactions. The experimental densities range from 1.66 to 1.93 g cm−3, detonation velocities from 8347 to 9086 ms−1, and pressures from 27.3 to 38.7 GPa, respectively. Some of these values are superior to those of current benchmark explosives, such as 1,3,5‐trinitroperhydro‐1,3,5‐triazine (RDX).
